My boyfriend and my dad
Relationship Stress / by raebossum
Last post
 July 28th, 2022
...See more Hi! My boyfriend and I had a talk before regarding my dad liking him. He's worried and anxious whether my dad likes him or not. But my dad has a cold personality and really intimidating. But I have reassured him that my dad's in favor of him. We are both freshmen in college. We only see each other once a week. My boyfriend always picks me up and takes me home. But I still have curfew when I go over at his place. There have been times that we forget about the time and he takes me home later than the said curfew. We apologize for it and never do it again. Although my boyfriend always reminds me that we should go home, but I insist sometimes to extend a little bit more. And then last night, my dad was looking for me. Disappointed and upset (and was in a bad mood prior to this), waiting by our staircase. He said I didn't message him and I was late which I agree that it is my fault. (my curfew was 9:30 but i went home at 10 cuz my mom allowed me to) The next day he told me that my curfew is now changed to 8 PM, whenever Im at my bf's place. He said he's losing his trust in me. And I told my boyfriend this and obviously he was upset as well. cause they have dinner at 8 pm and it would be impolite of me to go home when its right about dinner time. He was so upset that he said he doesn't want to meet up with me anymore. (but we're not breaking up) Of course I cried a lot, because he's the only reason I look forward the end of the week. He reasons that he couldn't understand my dad, he argues that he makes sure I get home safely, we only get to meet once a week. And now he doesn't wanna come over at my place anymore, cause he doesn't feel like he belongs here. What am I supposed to do? I do understand what my boyfriend is feeling. Are we being unreasonable or my dad is being too much?

Tips for how to cope with change

...See more So me and my boyfriend are almost inseparable. We're currently at the honeymoon phase wherein we constantly update and talk to each other and see each other once a week. However, he's got a new job. I'm happy for him, really. But what bugs me is his work schedule. It starts at 4 am to 12 PM and basically it clashes with my schedule. He's awake while I'm asleep and vice versa. Although I can still talk to him while he works but only for a brief moment. And after that he's gone off to sleep for the rest of the day. And I won't be able to talk to him anymore. So in conclusion, it's hard for me to adjust to changes. And this is definitely a big one. How can I get through this? He also feels sad about the situation but there's nothing he can do.

What am I supposed to do?

...See more I’ve never been the type of person who can give you advice. It’s either I give out unsolicited advice or I don’t know what to say at all. And so being in a relationship, I’ve been struggling how to help my boyfriend when he’s having a problem. Although he appreciates that I try, but it affects me as I feel useless in our relationship. What makes matter worse, he confides with a girl friend that I’m lowkey insecure of. And when I ask him about his problem, he doesn’t want to talk about it with me. And it makes me feel like I am no use since he has someone else to help him out with his struggles. And I’m scared that I can’t be there for him at his lowest moments because he gets the comfort that he needs from someone else. I can’t tell him about this just yet. Because it shouldn’t be about me at the moment. How can I help him out? Should I tell him what I’m feeling? Is it normal that he doesn’t want to tell his problems to me? :(( help
